Leaders and activists of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh on Friday held a protest rally in Dhaka demanding a ban on the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and protesting the murder of lawyer Saiful Islam Alif in Chattogram.

Hefazet’s Dhaka city unit arranged the protest rally and a procession at the north gate of the National Mosque Baitul Mukarram in Dhaka after Jumma prayers, where several thousand people participated.

Earlier, on Thursday, Hefazat took the decision to hold the protest rally at a meeting at Jamia Rahmia Arabia Mohammadpur presided over by the organisation’s Dhaka city unit president Maulana Junaid Al Habib.

Hefazat leaders at the rally said that the defeated forces of the country were using a section of Hindus to create chaos and anarchy.

As part of this, ISKCON is carrying out a malicious attempt to destabilise the country, they said.
They also condemned the incident of killing lawyer Saiful Islam Alif in Chattogram and demanded punishment for the people involved in the brutal killing.
